This situation reminds me a lot of the Modern Warfare 2 debacle over dedicated servers. To put it short, Infinity Ward didn't have a feature the community wanted at release, so the community hacked the crap out of MW2, eventually implementing it. PC sales were hurt, BF2:BC came out, lots of people moved on.

If Blizzard decides not to implement the features the fans want, are we going to have the same thing happen here? If so, it seems like it will do a lot of damage to the community. Instead of having one place where everyone plays, suddenly there's one place where people who care about these things play, a place where these things are somehow implemented by the community (think iccup 2.0), and one place where everyone else plays.

Wow. Just read through all that.

You know, when SC2 was announced, I was just so incredibly excited. I just couldn't wait. I volunteered for a prominent fansite as a news reporter, and spent time every day trawling through the internet for scraps of information.

Since then day, with each announcement, my enthusiasm for this game has slowly ebbed away.

I realise now that the only thing that's been keeping me going on this game is my faith in Blizzard to get the job done, and do it right. I have has more trust in Blizzard than any other company, ever. But reading this, I just can't help but feel my faith has been misplaced. They have no intention of fixing any of the major problems with b.net 2.0, and the game simply isn't good enough for me to overlook that.

The hundred tiny cuts have finally slain me. I'll be spending my money elsewhere.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

I don't understand how they think the current ladder system is good. I find it so alienating... I don't even look at it anymore, and it's even worse now that they're hiding division numbers. It also drives me nuts that you have to click 'Ladders', then click another thing to get to the damn ladder. So clunky and bloated. I want to know my overall rank, not my rank among other players who did their placements at roughly the same time.

Bnet 2.0 sucks so bad at the moment that I wouldn't be at all surprised to find myself going back to Quake 3/Live if there aren't some marked improvements in the release version. Despite the fact that I really enjoy the game itself, I find myself never playing more than 4 games in a row.. just because I hate the platform so much.

I'm also incredibly pissed that I won't be able to get my old highschool friends together to LAN some SC2; I really hope the hackers have been hard at work on this. I suspect a single cable connection will be GARBAGE for getting 4-8 people playing SC2 on bnet.

tl;dr: QQ
huh?

All I personally care about is that Blizzard create awesome core gameplay.

No chat channels? I am pretty sure I can figure out how to talk to my own friends, thank you.

No LAN? A necessity for today's technological environment. This will probably become standard for most new games. I fully expect that once a pro gaming league becomes more established that Blizzard will allow for the largest of the tournaments to be played on LAN. Besides, with today's technology fast internet is becoming more and more affordable and common.

Also, you really want Blizzard to be profitable, trust me. People complain about Blizzard trying to get the most money out of the game, but if Blizzard is profitable then they can continue to make excellent games. If they start losing money then they will be forced to release half assed games like most other companies do.

All this stuff really isn't a big deal in my mind. I just want a fun, balanced game that is good for high level competitive play(still asking for a lot). I think they are delivering on that.


Petred, the positives from having channels outweighs an infinite amount of positives by not having one. You bring to our attention that you can talk to your own friends through your own ways.

Okay what about the other players who enjoy talking or meeting new friends through their hobby--Starcraft/gaming? From personal experience--I definitely enjoy meeting people from chatrooms. Course there are the occasional spammers/flamers but I rather have a spammer and be able to meet some awesome new people than not have either of them.

Plus one of the reasons why MMOs are the most popular games because of this aspect. The ability to meet random people and play with them. And if Blizzard is all about listening to the community and making money then why not support a feature that is seriously appreciated by all, except for you, obviously.

No lan...I don't think you see the full spectrum of this concerning issue. First of all you yourself have spoken about competitive play and secondly Blizz has made many statements that they want to popularize ESports. Concerning this, a key aspect is how can you popularize a competition when you hinder their capabilities? I don't know if you follow any sports but I'm sure you can sympathize with this concept: how can any sport be popular when its best potentials and moments can't be displayed because of hindrances caused by its owners? People are excited over sports because of the spectacular moments they create. Now imagine all those moments and cut them by half because there was lag.

Yes, I want Blizzard to be profitable...well I don't necessarily want that specifically but I will support a company that produces good content. But when they say they listen to the community and don't address a very valid issue posed by the community that is just bullocks. When they say they listen and a guy representing them says in an interview "Do you REALLY want chat channels?", then that is just...ignorant and infuriating.

Finally I'd like to point out that I understand your standpoint. That as long as things are balanced you don't care about the other things mentioned. You aren't part of the community of gamers that enjoy features like channels or cross realms. That is totally fine. But the part that is convoluted in your post is that you are using your attitude towards something that you don't care about to argue against it. That is saying...I don't give birth; it doesn't affect me so I don't think women should be allowed to seek abortions.


QFT.
I mean, what is their reasoning for NOT having chat rooms?
If what people were asking was some sort of super advanced and hard to implement feature, fine, but chat channels?
How hard can it be to make them?

And his response to why chat channels aren't needed was "If we make a good matchmaking system, you shouldn't want to do anything other than play"..
That's plain out dumb

With the whole divide thing, though, Australians have ended up with the south-east Asia region. They've been wondering why you'd choose to do that, as obviously there'll be primarily non-English people playing with them.


That's an interesting challenge for us, because we want to make sure that the connectivity to the servers is such that the game experience is not impacted by a high-latency connection, and the latency between Australia and New Zealand to the servers in the US was such that we felt we would be able to deliver a better gaming experience by using their servers in south-east Asia.


ROFL an interesting challenge? WELL HOW ABOUT YOU DON'T CREATE CHALLENGES FOR YOURSELF

arg sorry... This is really sad. Blizzard is dumb.

HAHAHAHAHA bolded for absolute truth.

Remove the restriction that you have imposed upon yourself blizzard (you've had cross realm play on all previous titles) and the 'challenge' is non-existent. Seriously what the fuck?

"Do you really want chat channels?" ...... How disconnected are you from your user base blizz? EVERYONE I know playing the beta, is completely bemoaning the state of bnet 2.0. Get a fucking clue...

Players will want to interact with their nonexistant facebook friends that play starcraft rather than a group of players that share the same interest. We feel that's what the players want.


Why are all employees of Blizzard bald?


Because theyre evil masterminds (LOL!)
